Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Trailer is slightly ambiguous to how bad it will suck, but i definitely see any possible way this could be great. There was pretty cheesy lines in there. I think I'm falling in love with.. the girl from Scott Pilgrim. Ah, MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD, I will put in your butt.. In my next lucid dream.

There's one that you could play the entire Thing soundtrack with. You can never match these: a bearded Russel, Rob Bottin going batshit insane (literally) with all those EFX, Carpenter on synth and camera. I call fail. i just bought a real SQ-80 yesterday - carpentertastic! also, this film looks shit Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/68196-the-thing-2011-prequel/page/2/#findComment-1640299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
essines Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 you can't replace the lead character of kurt russell with some chick just because kurt russell had long hair. it'd be like giving the lead role of an alien prequel to jake gyllenhal or justin bieber. FAIL prequel or remake, whatever, i don't even know.

Meadows and Labyrinths Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 yeah, when i first saw this trailer a few months ago i said basically the same things everyone seems to be saying so far. - the original worked well without any hints of a love interest / female cast, etc. - no matter now hard we try, it's impossible to capture the essence of an 80's movie in the day and age. we are different now. the 80's were a magical time that cannot be relived. (i struggle with this daily) my biggest point, however, is that i have no idea why i keep hearing about this being a prequel. if this were a prequel, the original crashed UFO was discovered by a Norwegian base in Antarctica, and therefore would make for a really kick ass subtitled movie. but no one in hollywood is brave enough to do this. this should have taken place in that Norwegian base, not on another, completely different American/Canadian base, with the exact same number of people with similar character roles, and an opening scene with the monster debuting in the dogs pen, dialogue perpetually parallel to the original... this was built to be a remake, and i'm not excited. anyway, my blood is boiling a bit over this potential aberration, but i will still see it. :/ Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Meadows and Labyrinths's signature Hide all signatures plantre.bandcamp.com Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/68196-the-thing-2011-prequel/page/2/#findComment-1640481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wall Bird Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Luke, you seem confused on several points. This is the story of the Norwegian team. As for the characters speaking in English, chalk it up to being an American film. Also, who said anything about a romance subplot/Canadian base/monster debuting in the dog cage, - which, by the way; dogs in a cage are to be perfectly expected, since it's an antarctic camp.

The people who made this movie couldn't decide which one they wanted to do. they didn't respect the original enough to do a true prequel so they make it seem as amorphous as possible. which is why in the end this movie will not win fans of Carpenter's the Thing over. Not to mention that the lead appears to be female, part of what made the original so good was the gruff all male cast.
